[St Charles Owl]

Just about every one of those players you talk about either came through the ranks at the club or were brought in and then developed further by the manager. Mourinho has never shown much aptitude for taking a young player and making him better, he has generally bought the finished article and then put him in a team along with other expensive signing. Man Utd have never had to buy players for a potential sell on value but you only have to look at what otheer managers have done at the top of the PL by buying promising younger players and then turning them into better players - Benitez with Lascelles, Pep with Stones and Poch with the pair he has, sure they were all good players to start with and cost a lot of money as well but all have improved as players since they went to their current clubs, the grumpy one seems to have no interest in improving players he wants the finished article only.
